Bravo, Dr. Bill. Gasp....me thinks you are addicted. Welcome to our little 12 step program...that no one ever completes. At least lobby cards are smaller and easier to store. Anxious to see what is next. Cheers!

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here

Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said, 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
'Relax' said the night man
'We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave!

Pressbook, front & back

Nice set. I actually had to check my website to see if I own it. Lucky for you, I do, otherwise I would have hunt you down. So you know, the movie changed names (I guess Satan is not a commercial title) and there is a different set of 8 cards titled The Female. I won't post it here because it's not my thread, but you can see it on my website.

Actually, I'd be shocked to find I'd stumbled across something BB you didn't have. Strange about the name change - is your set a US set? I'll have a look...

Trust me, there is a lot about Bardot I don't have. But I'm in no rush.

And yes, it is a US set. The name change on foreign films is actually more frequent than you think. They would sometimes translate a title from its original one only to realize it didn't play in the US and make up something new. I've seen it many times.

You mean "Satan" didn't play well in the US? Well, I'm astonished!

More Del Toro - Pan's Labyrinth - 8 x 12 five-card German set. Thanks to Stefan at "slidemen"!

Love those Pan's Labyrinth cards, Dr. Bill.
Were there only 5 cards to this set, or are there more?

Dr Bill · « **Reply #35 on:** December 31, 2016, 02:38:41 PM »

It was listed as a complete set, and after searching I wasn't able to find any more info. It's a beautiful film, and the 7.1 audio is tastefully done. I was really happy to find the set.

Dr. Bill. Nice adds, especially the PAN'S LABYRINTH. How did i miss so much? Jinkies. I have my update notification switched ON. Groovy. Great work---keep it up.

Thanks - new cards are really staring to pile up now that my pre-Christmas orders are coming in. Must stop buying for a while - I'm forgetting what I've bought!

Kate Beckinsale in Underworld Evolution - 8 1/4" x 11 3/4" German 12-card set.

brude · « **Reply #44 on:** January 08, 2017, 12:38:05 AM »

Cool cards, Dr.Bill!
Dark City and Underworld: Evolution are favorites of mine.
I haven't seen Besson's Angel-A yet, but have read many good things.
Thanks for posting these great images!

Thanks, brude - glad you enjoyed them. I saw Blood Wars today. Kate kicks ass the only way Kate can. But Lara Pulver was also evil hotness as the villain. Remembered her from True Blood and Sherlock. Kate still looks amazing.
